2 things, plugging toilet and sitting in bathroom for way too long.

Posted by geppetto @geppetto, 6 days ago

It appears my wife is now overestimating what she needs for toilet paper (#1) and ends up plugging toilet. And, when she does go to the toilet (#1) she can spend way too much time in there. Looking for recommendations on how to address these new issues. She has Alzheimer's, Parkinson syndrome and luey body.

@geppetto I recently discovered that I can prevent the run-over by adjusting the height in the tank that the water fills to. I looked it up on Google. Has that ever saved me some stress!

@carolreid Some folks wanting only to conserve water add a clean brick, or two, to the tank, or even a liter jug that is refilled with water an placed inside the tank. Just be sure not to interfere with the stopper!
